It's a reservoir to store vacuum that the multi-rams need to move. The more you put your foot down the less vacuum you have in the manifold. So ...... no you can't snap a connector off.  ;) ;)

I think mowerman means he already did snap one of the connectors off..

I know! I had my tongue in my cheek.  ;)

Maybe he can drill a hole the size of the existing tube into where connector had been and glue the tube into it.
Or get another reservoir, I'm sure there must be a breaker with a spare.  :y :y

There are various plastic pipe connections that get brittle due to age & heat under the bonnet. I'd to replace the brake pipe none return valve cos I'd broke one of the connections from mine.  :(
